Chapter 251: The Steam Engine Exploded

The confrontation between the nine-tailed demon fox and Hong Liyu, but Su Lin didn't know about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info At this time, he ushered in the Mo family Confucian scholars who came excitedly.

At that time, on the coast of the East China Sea, Xiang Kaiwu came on the giant ship of the Gang and was the doorman of Su Ye, the eldest son of the Su family. As a Mohist ideological inheritance, he is good at mechanical arts, but he was awakened by Su Lin's words, and went back carefully to study the power of steam.

"It's been almost half a year. Suddenly came to me in a hurry, didn't you really research the steam engine?"

Thinking of this, Su Lin was also a little excited. What does the steam engine represent? It is an artifact that is enough to promote the first industrial revolution! In particular, after the development of the steam engine, it has led to the development of a series of power machines such as the diesel engine, which is an important invention that can subvert any world.

"Hey, my son, your idea of the power of steam really made me pause. After I returned, I also devoted several months to researching how to turn the power of steam into the power of the giant ship. Even, with this type of power, it can be expanded to more mechanism manufacturing. ā€

As soon as Xiang Kaiwu saw Su Lin, he was also very excited, as if he had seen a guiding light in the darkness. However, the overall mood was still a little low, and he was really puzzled in his heart, and said to Su Lin, "At the beginning, our research was very correct, and everything was developing very well. However, just as we were about to succeed completely, a strange phenomenon occurred. ā€

"Strange phenomenon? What is that? Xiang Jinshi, since you are studying in this direction, in my opinion, it is definitely not difficult to make a machine with steam as the driving force with the precision of your Mojia machine. What kind of strange thing is going on? ā€

Seeing Xiang Kaiwu's sad look, Su Lin knew that he was afraid that he still hadn't found a way to really use steam. In the beginning, the manufacture of steam engines on the earth was not achieved overnight, but after several improvements, it could be thoroughly applied to industry.

Su Lin himself is a half-baked high school student, and his knowledge of physics such as the steam engine is only derived from those simple principles in books. Let him tell a production principle and idea, and he may be able to speak the truth. But if he wanted Surin to build a steam engine by himself, he didn't have the ability and ability.

Therefore, Su Lin didn't dare to talk too much, and when he didn't figure out what was going on, he could only comfort Xiang Kaiwu and said, "Xiang Jinshi, the power of steam I told you before. It's just a little bit of my own whims, and I'm not sure if I can control this power in my hands and use it to create powerful mechanisms and machines.

Moreover, you are a Confucian scholar of the Mo family, and your attainments in mechanical skills are already very high, which is not comparable to me. Since you can't solve the problem, I'm afraid I won't be able to help, but you can tell me for a moment what the hell is going on......"

"Shizi, I don't know what's going on, I saw that I was going to succeed, but I exploded without any warning. I've brought all the things, can I find an open space in the house, and I'll show it to the prince?"

Xiang Kaiwu pointed to the entourage who followed behind him, carrying several large boxes, and said respectfully.

"Oh, that's right, go to the garden of my house and demonstrate. Is it really strange that a steam engine can explode? Is it because the gas is too inflated?

Quickly let Xiang Kaiwu and the others build everything in the open space of the garden, and Su Lin saw clearly that the steam engine made by Xiang Kaiwu was really quite exquisite. In addition, almost all of the structures are made of fine iron.

What is even more rare is that Su Lin can see that the steam engine created by Xiang Kaiwu and others through groping is no different from the early steam engine he saw in the textbook.

The principle of the steam engine is actually very simple, it requires a boiler that boils water to produce high-pressure steam, which can use wood, coal, oil or gas or even garbage as a heat source. By burning the heated water to boil, the resulting steam expands and pushes the piston to do work. Early steam engines used the vacuum created when steam condensed to do work, and later used steam expansion to do work.

The assembled steam engine in front of Surin was built like this, with a boiler and pistons. Judging from the sophistication of the machine, Surin could tell that the object had undergone many repeated explorations and constructions.

"Xiangjinshi, your machine is very precise, and on the surface I look perfect, there is no problem. Moreover, your piston and pump are made of fine iron, which can withstand extremely high expansion pressures, and it is impossible to produce an explosion!"

Su Lin used his only knowledge of physics to conduct a comprehensive evaluation and consideration of this steam engine, which can be said to be the first in the history of Tianren Continent, and the result was that this was a very good steam engine, there were no problems in all aspects, and it could be used normally.

In Su Lin's opinion, it only needs to connect this steam engine to the power core of the Giant Ship, and it can immediately replace the Wenbao power on the Giant Ship, and the Giant Ship can be completely driven by steam power.

"Shizi, this is also what I can't understand. According to our Mohist method of calculating the design, there will be no explosion. However, at the last moment, when the steam power was about to manifest itself, an explosion occurred!"

He ordered the man to start burning the wood and start the steam engine. Su Lin watched carefully, trying to see what was wrong.

The overall design of the steam engine is very modern and industrial, and compared with the steam engine designed by those foreign devils at the beginning, Su Lin thinks that it is more sophisticated to make it with the Mohist mechanism technology. At the same time, it is also very delicate and easy to carry.

Because of the problem of convenient transportation, the structure of the steam engine was split into several parts that could be disassembled and assembled. Just like the various complex machines and equipment in modern industry, each part can be dismantled and repaired separately. Even if something goes wrong, it can be replaced separately.

"In this Tianren Continent, the power of the Mo family is not only reflected in the holy power of thought. The exquisiteness of this mechanism alone is the leading position in industrial manufacturing. If I can really guide the Mohist school to develop the rudiments of modern science, it will be enough to subvert the entire world power......"

Su Lin actually didn't expect it himself, but at that time, he tried to inspire the Mo family Confucian scholars, and a few months later, he really came up with a finished steam engine.

"Shizi, everything is ready. As I envisioned in my design, wood burning would turn the water inside the boiler into steam, which would then be sent to the cylinders through the pipes...... Then you can push the piston to move ......"

"However, everything started as expected until the piston was about to start being pushed...... Just ......"

Boom!

Before the words were finished, it seemed that in order to cooperate with the explanation of the relevant Kaiwu, the entire steam engine exploded violently, and all the parts were blown out, and some parts were directly blown into pieces. Among them, boiling steam and boiling water also splashed out, but fortunately, Xiang Kaiwu and the others had already taken precautions, so no one was injured.

"It exploded? It really exploded! What is the reason, and I have just seen that it was not because of the pressure of steam expansion that caused the steam engine to explode. The cylinder made of fine iron can definitely withstand the pressure of steam......"

Seeing this strange phenomenon with his own eyes, Su Lin was also a little incredulous. There was no problem with the principle to the structure and then to the manufacture of the steam engine, but in the end, when it was about to succeed and completely convert the internal energy into kinetic energy, an inexplicable explosion occurred.

Su Lin couldn't figure it out, although his physics was not very good, but he could also know that it was definitely not because of the structure of the machine.

"That's it, Xiang Jinshi, if you build a steam engine again, I'll take a closer look at what went wrong and caused the steam engine to explode. ā€

Just now, Surin didn't pay much attention to observation, so he only saw the result of the explosion, and completely didn't notice what happened during the explosion and what caused the explosion.

"Okay! but ...... Shizi, his subordinates have tried no less than ten times, and each time it is the result of such an explosion. I couldn't find a specific reason at all, and even I changed the material of the cylinder to steel and gold and silver, which had the same effect and did not improve in the slightest. ā€

The steam engine was set up again, but there was no hope in his heart. Originally, he thought that Su Lin could come up with the idea of steam as power, presumably because he had built a related power machine, otherwise, how could ordinary people think of using steam as a driving power?

However, now Su Lin is also unbelievable in the face of this explosion, and Su Lin also admitted that he mentioned steam at that time was just an idea, and Xiang Kaiwu knew that he was afraid that his trip to the Shizi Mansion would be in vain.

"Hey, if I can really master the power of steam, my Mo family disciple will have my own power. We can even completely get rid of the power of the Holy Force and the power of thought, and use the knowledge of our Mohist organs and the power of steam to completely change the world......"

Xiang Kaiwu's mind was full of longing, and he had been building steam engines day and night for the past few months, hoping for such a day.
